Mandatory jabs
In September 2021, the Pontifical Lateran University confirmed it will follow Italy’s lead with a Green Pass certificate needed to access universities and other public places, imposing similar rules on its students and staff.[1] They have the choice of taking Covid jab or pay for a "Covid test" every 48 hour if they wish to teach or attend lectures or use the library or refectory. Each test costs around 20 euros and staff and students will need to be tested two or three times a week.[2]
